HOW A COPPER MINE LOOKS- Somebody U writing graphic letters from Eagle Har bor to the Cleveland Iferaid. After commenting on the weather, &o , iu hit Inst, ho thus describes a visit to the interior of theao wonderful mines. It witt tie new and interesting to the most of our readers : My dear " round table." it was by no means a pro meditated act thin ea-oy on meteorology no, my dear table, it was the intention of Boreal is to continue bia notice! of mines and mining in ennnrol, and this di gression ii only another inatanco nf the fickleness ol the hum bo mind. Only day before yesterday I pent the day under ground, in pnllnriea, shafts, whims, udite and atupea, Ohl thou rotund senior ot the Herald, nuver attempt turn a feat. The little aqunre hole in the platformi through which the and of the upper lad' der projects, will t:nrcolyadmit thy well fed corporeal parti. Kein ember nlso Hint beneath the surface the enrth nnd the air in wnrm nnd close, however frosty the nir above, and that it in charged with tno sulphurous fume of exploded powder. The rungs of those ladders are smeared with mud, and lead, ttagdafter stage, lo frightful depths, 200,300. yos 500 feet from tho surface. They will sometimes accommodate you lo a rule down nil mis distance in the kibble, all tlie whilo sinking, whistling and bou icing agninit the very side of iho shaft. This may not eemto ho so very frightful, and far pie asm ter than the spasmodic action of your hands and loot along those interminable bidders, yet there is another view of the cnsi. While we were groping along gallery No. 7,420 font from the surface, a moatdistingoished rattle, crash and clatter was hoard in the shaft, about thirty feet ilisiant. This was nothing more than a kibble with a loud of ttull timber, and l-r0 feet of chain, hurrying themselves to the bottom.' The rause of this simply tho bre iking of tho chain, nnd if tho worthy senior had been riding complacently down in tint kibble, it would not huve been less likely to tremble as it did. I do not remember to have explain d the term "stull." No one can hive an adequa'o idea ol Ihn amount nf timber necessary in on extending nunc, without going carefully through it. When tli aqtmro blocks of ground between the hafts nnd tho levels are "stuped nut,"n lurge quantity of the broken rock docs not CKtituin rapper, and this is I wit in the mine. Sometimes the vein iu which the metal is found is not wi lo enough for tho workmen to operate in tho apace it occupirs. They require eighteen inches to two (vet in width. In other mines the vein it occupied by solid m isies of copper, or the vein stone is so filled with specks and airings, or sheets of native copper, that it cannot be worked to advantage, The miner must, in.' Mich cases, carry on bis work In the solid rock at thn side of tho vein and inko the metalliferous portion down afterward. If the dirt, as the miners term tho refuse of ihe mine, was left in the galleries and adit levels, the passage to the parts beyond would bo cloied up. They timber over all these levels with many stout logs of nine or cedar, set obliquely across the level overhead, the ends firmly set into the wall rock, and there pieces nro cnllod ilullt. They are also necessary to keep the walls of the mines from settling together when the vein Is taken out. Homo ot itiem i ro two i'-et in di ameter, and twelve and fifteen teet long, and 1 li'ive often seen thsm crushed endwise and hrkcn across by the weight of the dirt and pressure of tho walls of Ihe vein. Those tremendous explosions called "sand blasts," where ten or more kes of powder are, placed behind a mass of copper still adhering to one wnll, so shake the adjnrent rocks as to cause slides and fissures in a mine Tho slinds also require to bo limbered and planked much of the wny. Thn stentn engines require firewood, and so ihe tires of the miners. All these objects consume timber rapidly, but where it goes to is matter of great astonishment to green horns. Every few minutes a cart load or more d scends the shall, there to remain out oi sigui loruvor, mwnya go in ir down and never returnim?. If the mine fills with water, nnd is abnmluied, this timber, plank, ladders and what not, would remain preserved for thousands of years, bi d by pumping out tho walei1 would be found as it was left. I have seen the strokes of a smnll axe upon oik word fimt.d in the ancient pits that abound in the veins of this country, remaining perfectly disiiurt nfter an immersion nf more thmi a thousand jer. The lim her being within eighteen feet of the. tin face, hnd hut its strength, but not its mrm ana mailings. Tallow, iron nnd steel, nro articles nf which a pro digious number of poundt diiapp'-nr annunliy. In all parts of a largo mi'to 200 men may be seen day and night Willi Canutes stuett on tneirrsp or on mo wan-of the vein. Tht ir-n is tmedrd in a thousand forms, fromnu ox-shoe and a borse-nail up to thoMri'iig'st machinery. H is by drills made of cust steel that the flinty and tough rocks that hold the copper, an conquered. Tho mauls, or hammers, by which tho drills are worked into the roik, are steeh Powder, ton. h provided by the ton, and with all these appliances, contrivances, tools, engines, pumps, Ihe human aim and human ingenuity, wealth is brought out of the most unpromisiug and cheerless spots on Ihofacoof the globe. Supposing ourselves crawling up from a shaft wet and muddy, fatigued with four hours climbing and nrawdiig bolnw day tight. After thn first pba-ing 11,-ht of Ihe clear skv. on iuvolintlnrily dwell upon the rugged dill's that nverhjn the pbiro. A frame nf three tu four hundred fet of roc rises above you . like a wall, stretching each way out of sight in the diUmce- There stands n range of abrupt moiintnins haid as adamant, white with snow, and oriin with the antiquity of countless years. Yet man has rut this moiiiittiui in twain, ami iu process of time it will be cut in hundreds of places.

AURORA HOltBAUS. A i'oRiTAN 8uNiiT. As every matter mnnected with the social life and customs of the old settlers of N'W Eu gland is of much interest to their dccemlanis, we propose in a few short articles, (ogive as correct a description of " Sunday in New England " two him drcd years ago, ns we cau collate from our former annals. The I'utitan Sabbath commenced on Biturdny afternoon. No labor wsi performed on the evening which preceded the Lord's Day. B irly on Sunday morning, the blowing of a horn, in some villages, an not) nerd Hint tho hour of worship was at linndi in , other places, a Hag was hung out of the rudo building occupied by the church. In Cambridge, a drum was bunt, in miliiarvstvle. In rJilrin. a bell indicated the opulence of the settlement. The religious services ntuUy commenced at nine o clock in thn morning, and nernnifd frnm six to einlit hours, divided by an inter. mission of one hour for dinner. The people collected quite punctually, as the law compelled their attend nee, and thore was a henvy fijio for any one thai rodo too fit to meeting. Th sexton called upon Ihe min-ist. r and escorted him to church, in the same fashion that ihesheiiiTtiow roudo is ihe Judge Into our Hta'e denote some crime against tho stern code. We make a few extracts from the laws of the New England Colonies respecting the Sabbath ; " Tho Sabbath day shall begiq at iudioI on (Satur day." " No woman shall kiasherchildronoa tho Sabbath or fasting day." " No one shall run on tho Subbath day, or walk in his own garden or elao where, except ruverenlly tu aud from meeting." " No one to cross the river but with an authorised ferryman." Baton Tranteript. BAYARDTAYLOE- We think the following sketch of tho history of Bayard Taylor, which wo clip from tho Rural Ntw Yorker, published at Rochester, will he found interesting. We do not think it often in good taste, to enter Into such descriptions, hut we think, wiih tho paper we copy from, that "Bayard Taylor is a mau of whom every American enn be proud. Eirnest, energntic, v Hovering, filled with every kindly emotion aud generous impubo, the scorching tun of Africa has brur zodhis cheeks and brow, and exposure to the wind nnd wuntber of lonj; sea voyage nnd oriental climes, has contributed very much to ch tnge his bright complexion to an ulinnst Oieole hue." "Diynrd Taylor w-u born at Philadelphia, on the 1 1 tit of January, 1825, and is now consequently twenty-nine yenn, old. Few men uf bis years lnvo seen and onduied so much; hive labored, and struggled, and Buiiured so greatly, and wn may ndd, triumphed so glorimidy. Ho commenced bis career ns a printer on a country newspaper, early iu life, nnd labored as n compositor at the cane for some ynnrs. Hut his uctivo intellect could not be chained to the mere mechauicul duties of his trade his fingers were frequently employed to mould into langiblo shape the workings uf his own brain, In his case, as in that of many other of our literati, his earlier productions wero in tho li eld of poetry, and ho became favorably known to tho public through the columns of tho New Mir tor and Graham t Magazine- In 1844, ho publiohed his firnt vol umo, entitled "Zimenia, aud otlior l'oema." An irresi lible thirst to trnvel was enrly felt by tho young poet, and at this peri' d of his lite ho boldly entered upon the fu'fillment of hlt desires. Willi only one hundred and fifty dollars in his pocket, ho left his nativo shores to make the tour of Europu. 1'reviotiH to siurting, however, he mado nrrntigomeuta with Mr. Chandler of tho United Stales Uazotlo, to wriietwelve letters for his paper, nt fifty dollars ench i and, alntt, with Mr. Patterson, to write an equal number for tho Saturday Evening Pott. With these slender resour ces, he made tho tour of Europe on fool, b ing absent for that purpose during the period of two ye-irs, and traveling through Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Franco, ft distance of three thousand miles. On his return home, ho puh1ihda volume of liis travels, entitled " Views Afoot." fie also wrote nn othervnliimo of poems during bin tour, called "Rhymes of Travel," which was likewise published on his re turn, tie at tins time hecitno one ol tho editors of the New York Tribune, and as n correspondent of thai paper, traveled extensively in California in 1818, nnd on his return home in the spring of 1850. he published a void mo cniiiied " Eldorado, or Adventures in tno Path of Empire " This book was very successful both in thiscouiitry and in Englai d, and was alo translated into the (termaii language, and extensively circulated on ihe continent. In lKM ho started on ft tour to Africa, and veiled tho Pyramids in the valley of the Nile. From thence he returned to Europe, and proceeded to the E;ist Indies where he ioined himself to tho United States Naval Expedition to Japan. We may look for nn interesting volume from his pen upon tho subject nfllieso Oriental travels; but in the meoniimo he is reaping n rich harvest hnih of public favor and pecuniary aid, oy lecturing hetore hierary si-cinhes in ait tho principal cities in tho Union, on the interesting subject of Jiipan. He speuks from his own experience and ob nervation in thoso regioni, and does not entertain his hearers with subtht theories and spoc.ulnti' n, such as are too frequently indulged in by our public lec turers.

These resolutions from his pon, n'w for the first timj mudo public, come to us like a voice irom the grave, enlnr cing anew the chief object of his life, " the union of the States, now and for over." W'AiHiNflToit, April 5, 185 1. To Messrs. Gac.es &Sea,ton. Gkntlemek: Inasmuch an Mr. Clay's name has been frequently mentioned and his opinions alluded to in the recent debates on the iNooratka bill, I luel it to be duo to hit memory as well as the truth of history to givo to the public tho following rusoluti ns, which wero written by him nnd unclosed to me at Leiington, Kentucky, in a tetter dated " Wathineton. 2','d Decern-- ber, 184!)." The words " mthm Ihe Tcrtxlotxa recently acquired from Mexico," hi tho sec on I resolution, wero inter lined by him. With this exception there it no chaugo from the original draught in the slightest particular. His object wan to have them, or similar ones, prr sonted to the people of Kentucky, wiihotit distinction of party, at public meotings to be called for ti e pur pose. Very trn'y, your most obedient servant, . LESLIE COMI13, (copy.) 1.

OLD AGE, Theodore Parker gavo ulterauceto a happy thought when he wrote the following: . What a beautiful thing is tho old apo which crowns a noble life, of rich or poor ! How lair are the latter days of many n woman wife, mother suiter, Hunt, friend whom you and I have known I How proud j were the last years of Washington ( tha old aee of Franklin I How beautiful in his late autumn is Alex ander Von Humboldt I The momentum of manliness bears on the venerable man his four aud eightieth year. There you see the value of time. It takes much to make a great lifn, an to make a great estate. No amount of genius that God ever gives man could enable one t achieve at forty what Von Humboldt has only done at more than eighty. It wan so with Socrates, Pinto, Aristotle, Lei burn, every great man who lias awed the world by thn action of a mighty intellect, with corresponding culture. These, are men uf high talent, station, genius perhaps. But the old ago of a Quaker tailor, in Philadel pln'a and New York was not a whit less fnir. The philanthropy of Inane Hopper blessed the land ; in his manhood it enriched the world; in his old age it beautified his own life, giving an added glory to his soul. How many farmers, mechanics, traders, servants, bow many mo tiers, wives aud aunts, havoymi and I known, whoso last days were a handsomo finish to a hand somolife; the Christian ornament on tho tall column of time ! Their old ogo was the slow selling of the sun, which left "Tho imllo of his departure spread O'er th) warm culurrd heaven und ruddy mouuUln liesd " And thon what a rare beauty and grace abont tho expression of this thought: Thero is a period when tho apple tree blossoms with iis fellows of the wood and field. How fnir a lime it is! All nature is wootome aud winning; the material world celebrates its vegetable loves; and the flower bells, touched by tho winds of spring, usher in the universul niarrngo of Nature. Boasts, birds, in sect, fish, plant, lichen, with their prophetic colors spiend, all float forward on tho tide of new life. Then comes the summer. Many a bh som fulls fruit less to Ihe ground, littering tno earth with beauty, never to be used. Thick leaves hide thn process ol creation, which first blushed public in the, flowers, ami now unseen goes on. For so life's most deep nnd fruitful hours are hid in mystery. Apples are growing on every tree; all summer long lluy grow, aud in early autumn. At letieih tho fruit is fully formed; the leaves begin to full, letting lite sun approach moro near. The nppl" hangs thero yet not lo grow, only to ripen. Weeks long it clings to iho tree; it gnins nothing in size and weight. Externally, there is in creaso of beauty. Having finished tho form from within, Nature brings out ihe added grnce of color. It ; is not a tricksy futhion painted on, but an expression which of itself comes out n fraraticu and a loveliness of the apple's innermost. Within, nt tho tamo time, tho component elements are changing. Tho apple grows mild nod pk-asmt. It softens, sweetens ; in one word, it mellows. Some niht, the vital forces nf the tree sets drowsy, and the autumn with senile breath. just shnkes thoboufdi; tho expectant fruit lets go its Hold, full grown, lull ripe, lull colored too, and with plump and happy sound tho tipple falls into the autumn's lap ; aud the spring's marringo promise iscomplete. Such is tho natural process which each fruit goes through bloom inn. crowinr. ripeninc. The anno divine law is appropriate for every kind of animal, from the lowrM reptile up to lnipcrin man It is vory benuttul. The parts of the process nro pen feet; the whole is complete. Birth is humnn blossom; youth, manhood, they are eu minor growih; old ago is ripeness. Ihe hands let go the moral hough; Unit is natural death. It is a dour, good God who ordors nil for Ihe apple tree and for mankind. Arams1 Expresi. On ft certain day of tho year 1 839, a man with a carpet bag might have been, scon (as .lames would relate tho story) embarking on board iho Norwich steamboat for Boston. Tho man was a Boston Yankee, Alvin Adams by name; tho onrpel bag contained a few pare Is with which individuals had entrusted him to he d 'livered promptly in the city of his doaiinalion; his capitil was in his brains ; his reputation was his personal acquaintance; he was nothing in short but a tiinu with a carpet bag, or what is now called nn express messenger, on the smallest scale, Frultfnlnes, integrity, promptness and enterprise brought wonderful things out of that carpet bag; a richer treasury than Foriuuutiis's purse, and a moro innglcul agency than Aladin's lump. The possessor is now, after the lapse of fifteen years, the head of a house which carries to nnd fro in its " enrpot bag," for tho accommodation of the public, an amount of treasure, iu the shapo of merchandise, gold and silver, notes aud valuables, uot less than one million of dollais every day, or (3ij,000,000 per annum. Their offices aro in every city fir commercial depot from New York to Sid Francis o nnd Australia not to mention Ihe Japan ofiico, fur which Commodore Perry has cone to pavo the way. 'flicir agents and assistants number about three hundred. Their capital is, of courso, immense, and tho circumstances of the gold market of California, their connection wiih it as forwarders, and the extraordinary share of pubi c con fide n ce earned by their houornhlo career, have lately constrained them to act in San Francisco as bankers, on a largo scale t whero thev hrivs iiist sustained a run (occasioned hy an accidental rumor) lo the amount nf f.iOO uiit), in a tmnner which bus midid largely to the conlKlence and popularity which thoy beiore enjoyed Such is one of the featun-s of tho wonderful ago in which we live. iV. .

The minister was clothed with mysterious awe and great sanctity by the people, and an intense was this sentiment, that even the minister's family wero regarded demi gods. The Puritan Meeting House was an odd structure. Tho first ones erected by the nltnits. ware built of loff. and had a cannon on the top. Those standing two centuries ago were built of brick, with clay plastered over the courses, auu env-erml wiih clav-boarda. now called clan boards. The roof was i hatched, as buildings are now seen in Canada East. Near the church edifice stood those ancient institutions the stocks, Ihe whipping post, and ft large wooden cage to confine nlVenders against the laws. Upon the outside of the church, and fattened to the wslls. were the heads nf all the wolves killed during (ho season. In front of Ihe church, in many towns, an armed sentry stood, dressed iu the habiliments of war. There were no pews in the crunches. The oonxregation hid places asiigned them upon ihe rode benches, at tho annual town meeting, according lo Ihrir ago and social position.

We quote some of tha expressions of the Czar, ns indicative of the policy ho will probably pursue. It is evident that bo thinks Austria is in his hands, and it Is equally evident that that nation will cheat the one party or the other. We have from the first thought it would, in the end, unite wiih Russia.

The exclu- siveness mid intolerance of tho Koran have found their exact cm niter part in iho entire legal system of the Empire, and though Clirisiinn communities have always subsisted in the T urkish dominions, they hove been no better than heretics and dogs in the eye of the i uritisn law. i no priviiog"s winch nave been grant-ed lo the various Christian iacts wero merely privb leges placing (hern upon an euuality with ouch other, not witiitho Mahomedan population itself. It is true that the spirit id' thn Turkish administration has long been far moro lihurul than the letter of the laws, bin hero wo have tho lawn Iheinsdves directly changed, and non miHiulnieu put upon tho smio level with the roirowers oi itio prophet oven iu ihe highest sauciua rics of justice, Turkey has long been preparing itself for these departures from Iho injunctions uf the Koran. The free scope which ban bo en allowed to overy religious movement out of the pnlo of the national faith could not but tend to break down tho artificial barriers which protected that faith, and promote the progress of overy liberal sentiment. Tho intolerant fire-and sword-spirit of tho Koran is literally dying out of Turkey, and the milder influences of Christ! inity are taking their place. By what ngeucy or with what motive these change aro superinduced, it is not necessary lo inquire. It is suHicient that the fact adinitH of no denial. The unchristian intolerance of Russia is in strange contrast. The pirit of 11 nisi a has been growing morn and mora proscriptivo since the advent of tho present Emperor twenty eight year ago. Thn predecessor l tho present Uzar not only permitted but eucourag-ed tho free circulation of iho Siripture.s iu Ins domin Ions; now no Russian Bible isallowod to be printed in Russia or imported. This is interdicted under the lovcro nt ponalties.

THE NEBRASKA AT SPRINGFIELD, A few days sirce we attempted to " atlr u.i the pure mind" of our Stateiman neighbor, merely "by way of rememhrance'as tothesucoessof his mission to Springfield, and labor of love for Ihe diffusion of slavery over ff" territory. We enquired for tho letter sent by Chief Justice Coitwns. If the Stateiman does not relnh that letter send it to ui; wo will publish it cheerfully I Instead, however, of answering our enquiries, tho Statetman affects profound wonder, an I straight way proceeds to interrogate us! He says; What does the Journal mean by a letter from Judge Oorwin to the Sprinfig-dd Nebraska meeting ? There was no such letter road. If it means lhat a letter op-posing the Nebraska bill was sent nnd withheld, it is untrue. Judge Corwia expected, Op to the last moment, to be at Springfield, and ad dree a the meeting. Tu this equivoque the Springfield Republic reptiet, (hut: Why did you not tell the whole truth, Mr. Cox, and state, that up to the hit moment, it wan Judge Corwin's intention to como to your Springfield meeting, and make a speech against the Nebraska bill and, further that he was benet by some of your miserablecon-federatea, who begged kirn to itay away.

It waa a well written paper, though not exactly adapted to the feast of which our neighbor was both guest and cook. RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.

" The Evening Post publishes an article from Boston to Ihe HVeet that Mr. Everett is tho author of the cele brat ed loltor of Daniel Webster tu Chevalier Hulso mann." This is eoncluiive of the oft a'Srted fact, that " the fools aro not all dead, yet." Mr. Everett is an ao. complUhed scholar and statesman and to was Dak-iel Weuter. But their style of thought and expret sion were aa dissimilar from each other, as those of each were peculiar to himself. And moreover, neither was ever in the habit of figuring Iu borrowed plumage. When that Intter was written, Mr. Everett was en joying his literary leisure, in Massachusetts, and Mr. Webster was at Ihe post of duty for which nature, lubit and educ ation eminently qualified him, at Washington. The letter wns a rather impromptu production in response to one received from the Chevalier but was ono of those happy p-cductions of Mr. Welter's pen, that could be vor little Improved by the most critical revision. It is Daniel Webster all over and throughout. CiT An important principle waa lately decided by Judge Pack at the Vinton county Common Pleas. Da-vin Richmond entered into a wr tten contract with H. J. Randolph, by which ho bound himaelf lo pay RAsnoxru $200, provided tho county of Elk, (afterward Vinton.) should be crented by the Legialainre io the winter of 18 19-50. Tho county was created, aud since ilmt time, tho money not being paid, Mr. Rak-noLrtt hit atied for his money, Tho cote was elaborately nr .'lied by W. R G oi l) en and H. Wit.jon for theplaiiitifft, and by E. F. Di no it am, and John E. Han-ma for ihe defence The o iini in of Judge Pkcr is reported at length in tho Vinton county Democrat. He decides lhat all such contracts are clearly oppeaed lo public poliuy, and are therefore void. Courts will not enforce them. His reasoning is clear, cogent, and, to our mind, conclusive. The pay was bated upon too ccaa. If no county waa secured, there was to bo no pay, and this invited the ute of all sorts of means. We take it that this will hert-afterbelherulein Ohio, and persona who engage in this sort of service, will understand lhat they have no legal claim forcompensation.

Mr. Orr proposes to add other items of about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for the purpose of opening negolia lions wiih the Indians of Oregon, Washington, Utah, New Moxico, &.o.

HOW A COPPER MINE LOOKS- Somebody U writing graphic letters from Eagle Har bor to the Cleveland Iferaid. After commenting on the weather, &o , iu hit Inst, ho thus describes a visit to the interior of theao wonderful mines. It witt tie new and interesting to the most of our readers : My dear " round table." it was by no means a pro meditated act thin ea-oy on meteorology no, my dear table, it was the intention of Boreal is to continue bia notice! of mines and mining in ennnrol, and this di gression ii only another inatanco nf the fickleness ol the hum bo mind. Only day before yesterday I pent the day under ground, in pnllnriea, shafts, whims, udite and atupea, Ohl thou rotund senior ot the Herald, nuver attempt turn a feat. The little aqunre hole in the platformi through which the and of the upper lad' der projects, will t:nrcolyadmit thy well fed corporeal parti. Kein ember nlso Hint beneath the surface the enrth nnd the air in wnrm nnd close, however frosty the nir above, and that it in charged with tno sulphurous fume of exploded powder. The rungs of those ladders are smeared with mud, and lead, ttagdafter stage, lo frightful depths, 200,300. yos 500 feet from tho surface. They will sometimes accommodate you lo a rule down nil mis distance in the kibble, all tlie whilo sinking, whistling and bou icing agninit the very side of iho shaft. This may not eemto ho so very frightful, and far pie asm ter than the spasmodic action of your hands and loot along those interminable bidders, yet there is another view of the cnsi. While we were groping along gallery No. 7,420 font from the surface, a moatdistingoished rattle, crash and clatter was hoard in the shaft, about thirty feet ilisiant. This was nothing more than a kibble with a loud of ttull timber, and l-r0 feet of chain, hurrying themselves to the bottom.' The rause of this simply tho bre iking of tho chain, nnd if tho worthy senior had been riding complacently down in tint kibble, it would not huve been less likely to tremble as it did. I do not remember to have explain d the term "stull." No one can hive an adequa'o idea ol Ihn amount nf timber necessary in on extending nunc, without going carefully through it. When tli aqtmro blocks of ground between the hafts nnd tho levels are "stuped nut,"n lurge quantity of the broken rock docs not CKtituin rapper, and this is I wit in the mine. Sometimes the vein iu which the metal is found is not wi lo enough for tho workmen to operate in tho apace it occupirs. They require eighteen inches to two (vet in width. In other mines the vein it occupied by solid m isies of copper, or the vein stone is so filled with specks and airings, or sheets of native copper, that it cannot be worked to advantage, The miner must, in.' Mich cases, carry on bis work In the solid rock at thn side of tho vein and inko the metalliferous portion down afterward. If the dirt, as the miners term tho refuse of ihe mine, was left in the galleries and adit levels, the passage to the parts beyond would bo cloied up. They timber over all these levels with many stout logs of nine or cedar, set obliquely across the level overhead, the ends firmly set into the wall rock, and there pieces nro cnllod ilullt. They are also necessary to keep the walls of the mines from settling together when the vein Is taken out. Homo ot itiem i ro two i'-et in di ameter, and twelve and fifteen teet long, and 1 li'ive often seen thsm crushed endwise and hrkcn across by the weight of the dirt and pressure of tho walls of Ihe vein. Those tremendous explosions called "sand blasts," where ten or more kes of powder are, placed behind a mass of copper still adhering to one wnll, so shake the adjnrent rocks as to cause slides and fissures in a mine Tho slinds also require to bo limbered and planked much of the wny. Thn stentn engines require firewood, and so ihe tires of the miners. All these objects consume timber rapidly, but where it goes to is matter of great astonishment to green horns. Every few minutes a cart load or more d scends the shall, there to remain out oi sigui loruvor, mwnya go in ir down and never returnim?. If the mine fills with water, nnd is abnmluied, this timber, plank, ladders and what not, would remain preserved for thousands of years, bi d by pumping out tho walei1 would be found as it was left. I have seen the strokes of a smnll axe upon oik word fimt.d in the ancient pits that abound in the veins of this country, remaining perfectly disiiurt nfter an immersion nf more thmi a thousand jer.

AURORA HOltBAUS. A i'oRiTAN 8uNiiT. As every matter mnnected with the social life and customs of the old settlers of N'W Eu gland is of much interest to their dccemlanis, we propose in a few short articles, (ogive as correct a description of " Sunday in New England " two him drcd years ago, ns we cau collate from our former annals. The I'utitan Sabbath commenced on Biturdny afternoon. No labor wsi performed on the evening which preceded the Lord's Day. B irly on Sunday morning, the blowing of a horn, in some villages, an not) nerd Hint tho hour of worship was at linndi in , other places, a Hag was hung out of the rudo building occupied by the church. In Cambridge, a drum was bunt, in miliiarvstvle. In rJilrin. a bell indicated the opulence of the settlement. The religious services ntuUy commenced at nine o clock in thn morning, and nernnifd frnm six to einlit hours, divided by an inter. mission of one hour for dinner. The people collected quite punctually, as the law compelled their attend nee, and thore was a henvy fijio for any one thai rodo too fit to meeting. Th sexton called upon Ihe min-ist. r and escorted him to church, in the same fashion that ihesheiiiTtiow roudo is ihe Judge Into our Hta'e denote some crime against tho stern code. We make a few extracts from the laws of the New England Colonies respecting the Sabbath ; " Tho Sabbath day shall begiq at iudioI on (Satur day." " No woman shall kiasherchildronoa tho Sabbath or fasting day." " No one shall run on tho Subbath day, or walk in his own garden or elao where, except ruverenlly tu aud from meeting." " No one to cross the river but with an authorised ferryman." Baton Tranteript. BAYARDTAYLOE- We think the following sketch of tho history of Bayard Taylor, which wo clip from tho Rural Ntw Yorker, published at Rochester, will he found interesting. We do not think it often in good taste, to enter Into such descriptions, hut we think, wiih tho paper we copy from, that "Bayard Taylor is a mau of whom every American enn be proud. Eirnest, energntic, v Hovering, filled with every kindly emotion aud generous impubo, the scorching tun of Africa has brur zodhis cheeks and brow, and exposure to the wind nnd wuntber of lonj; sea voyage nnd oriental climes, has contributed very much to ch tnge his bright complexion to an ulinnst Oieole hue." "Diynrd Taylor w-u born at Philadelphia, on the 1 1 tit of January, 1825, and is now consequently twenty-nine yenn, old. Few men uf bis years lnvo seen and onduied so much; hive labored, and struggled, and Buiiured so greatly, and wn may ndd, triumphed so glorimidy.

Hut his uctivo intellect could not be chained to the mere mechauicul duties of his trade his fingers were frequently employed to mould into langiblo shape the workings uf his own brain, In his case, as in that of many other of our literati, his earlier productions wero in tho li eld of poetry, and ho became favorably known to tho public through the columns of tho New Mir tor and Graham t Magazine- In 1844, ho publiohed his firnt vol umo, entitled "Zimenia, aud otlior l'oema." An irresi lible thirst to trnvel was enrly felt by tho young poet, and at this peri' d of his lite ho boldly entered upon the fu'fillment of hlt desires. Willi only one hundred and fifty dollars in his pocket, ho left his nativo shores to make the tour of Europu. 1'reviotiH to siurting, however, he mado nrrntigomeuta with Mr. Chandler of tho United Stales Uazotlo, to wriietwelve letters for his paper, nt fifty dollars ench i and, alntt, with Mr. Patterson, to write an equal number for tho Saturday Evening Pott. With these slender resour ces, he made tho tour of Europe on fool, b ing absent for that purpose during the period of two ye-irs, and traveling through Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Franco, ft distance of three thousand miles. On his return home, ho puh1ihda volume of liis travels, entitled " Views Afoot." fie also wrote nn othervnliimo of poems during bin tour, called "Rhymes of Travel," which was likewise published on his re turn, tie at tins time hecitno one ol tho editors of the New York Tribune, and as n correspondent of thai paper, traveled extensively in California in 1818, nnd on his return home in the spring of 1850. he published a void mo cniiiied " Eldorado, or Adventures in tno Path of Empire " This book was very successful both in thiscouiitry and in Englai d, and was alo translated into the (termaii language, and extensively circulated on ihe continent. In lKM ho started on ft tour to Africa, and veiled tho Pyramids in the valley of the Nile. From thence he returned to Europe, and proceeded to the E;ist Indies where he ioined himself to tho United States Naval Expedition to Japan. We may look for nn interesting volume from his pen upon tho subject nfllieso Oriental travels; but in the meoniimo he is reaping n rich harvest hnih of public favor and pecuniary aid, oy lecturing hetore hierary si-cinhes in ait tho principal cities in tho Union, on the interesting subject of Jiipan. He speuks from his own experience and ob nervation in thoso regioni, and does not entertain his hearers with subtht theories and spoc.ulnti' n, such as are too frequently indulged in by our public lec turers.

OLD AGE, Theodore Parker gavo ulterauceto a happy thought when he wrote the following: . What a beautiful thing is tho old apo which crowns a noble life, of rich or poor ! How lair are the latter days of many n woman wife, mother suiter, Hunt, friend whom you and I have known I How proud j were the last years of Washington ( tha old aee of Franklin I How beautiful in his late autumn is Alex ander Von Humboldt I The momentum of manliness bears on the venerable man his four aud eightieth year. There you see the value of time. It takes much to make a great lifn, an to make a great estate. No amount of genius that God ever gives man could enable one t achieve at forty what Von Humboldt has only done at more than eighty. It wan so with Socrates, Pinto, Aristotle, Lei burn, every great man who lias awed the world by thn action of a mighty intellect, with corresponding culture. These, are men uf high talent, station, genius perhaps. But the old ago of a Quaker tailor, in Philadel pln'a and New York was not a whit less fnir. The philanthropy of Inane Hopper blessed the land ; in his manhood it enriched the world; in his old age it beautified his own life, giving an added glory to his soul. How many farmers, mechanics, traders, servants, bow many mo tiers, wives aud aunts, havoymi and I known, whoso last days were a handsomo finish to a hand somolife; the Christian ornament on tho tall column of time ! Their old ogo was the slow selling of the sun, which left "Tho imllo of his departure spread O'er th) warm culurrd heaven und ruddy mouuUln liesd " And thon what a rare beauty and grace abont tho expression of this thought: Thero is a period when tho apple tree blossoms with iis fellows of the wood and field. How fnir a lime it is! All nature is wootome aud winning; the material world celebrates its vegetable loves; and the flower bells, touched by tho winds of spring, usher in the universul niarrngo of Nature. Boasts, birds, in sect, fish, plant, lichen, with their prophetic colors spiend, all float forward on tho tide of new life. Then comes the summer. Many a bh som fulls fruit less to Ihe ground, littering tno earth with beauty, never to be used. Thick leaves hide thn process ol creation, which first blushed public in the, flowers, ami now unseen goes on. For so life's most deep nnd fruitful hours are hid in mystery. Apples are growing on every tree; all summer long lluy grow, aud in early autumn. At letieih tho fruit is fully formed; the leaves begin to full, letting lite sun approach moro near. The nppl" hangs thero yet not lo grow, only to ripen. Weeks long it clings to iho tree; it gnins nothing in size and weight. Externally, there is in creaso of beauty. Having finished tho form from within, Nature brings out ihe added grnce of color. It ; is not a tricksy futhion painted on, but an expression which of itself comes out n fraraticu and a loveliness of the apple's innermost. Within, nt tho tamo time, tho component elements are changing. Tho apple grows mild nod pk-asmt. It softens, sweetens ; in one word, it mellows. Some niht, the vital forces nf the tree sets drowsy, and the autumn with senile breath. just shnkes thoboufdi; tho expectant fruit lets go its Hold, full grown, lull ripe, lull colored too, and with plump and happy sound tho tipple falls into the autumn's lap ; aud the spring's marringo promise iscomplete. Such is tho natural process which each fruit goes through bloom inn. crowinr. ripeninc. The anno divine law is appropriate for every kind of animal, from the lowrM reptile up to lnipcrin man It is vory benuttul. The parts of the process nro pen feet; the whole is complete. Birth is humnn blossom; youth, manhood, they are eu minor growih; old ago is ripeness. Ihe hands let go the moral hough; Unit is natural death. It is a dour, good God who ordors nil for Ihe apple tree and for mankind. Arams1 Expresi. On ft certain day of tho year 1 839, a man with a carpet bag might have been, scon (as .lames would relate tho story) embarking on board iho Norwich steamboat for Boston. Tho man was a Boston Yankee, Alvin Adams by name; tho onrpel bag contained a few pare Is with which individuals had entrusted him to he d 'livered promptly in the city of his doaiinalion; his capitil was in his brains ; his reputation was his personal acquaintance; he was nothing in short but a tiinu with a carpet bag, or what is now called nn express messenger, on the smallest scale, Frultfnlnes, integrity, promptness and enterprise brought wonderful things out of that carpet bag; a richer treasury than Foriuuutiis's purse, and a moro innglcul agency than Aladin's lump. The possessor is now, after the lapse of fifteen years, the head of a house which carries to nnd fro in its " enrpot bag," for tho accommodation of the public, an amount of treasure, iu the shapo of merchandise, gold and silver, notes aud valuables, uot less than one million of dollais every day, or (3ij,000,000 per annum.

Their capital is, of courso, immense, and tho circumstances of the gold market of California, their connection wiih it as forwarders, and the extraordinary share of pubi c con fide n ce earned by their houornhlo career, have lately constrained them to act in San Francisco as bankers, on a largo scale t whero thev hrivs iiist sustained a run (occasioned hy an accidental rumor) lo the amount nf f.iOO uiit), in a tmnner which bus midid largely to the conlKlence and popularity which thoy beiore enjoyed Such is one of the featun-s of tho wonderful ago in which we live. iV. .

We quote some of tha expressions of the Czar, ns indicative of the policy ho will probably pursue. It is evident that bo thinks Austria is in his hands, and it Is equally evident that that nation will cheat the one party or the other. We have from the first thought it would, in the end, unite wiih Russia. Nicholas said to Sir Henry Seymour : Frankly, then, I tell yon, that if Eu&jand thinks of establishing heis'df ono of these days at Constantino ple, I will not allow it. 1 do not attribute this intention to you, but it is better on these occasions to speak plainly ; for my part, 1 nm equally disposed to take the engagement not to establish myself there, as proprietor that is to say, for us occupier I do not say ; it might happen that circuiiutiunces, if no previous pro visions were made, if every thing should be left to change, might placo me in a position of occupying Constantinople.The Czir aha ttsod this language to the British Ambassador : Then, rejoined tho Eiu.-cmr, I will tell vou (hat tf your Government Ha bee.- b.d to beliuvo that Turkey retains any elements of existence, your Government mutt nave received incorrect ltimrmatinn. I repeat to you that Iho sick mania dyim; : nnd we can never allow such an event tako us by surprise. Wo must como to some understanding. I will not tolerate the permanent occupation of Con stantinople by Iho Russians; having said this, I will say that it nuver shall bn hold by tho Engliih, French, or nny great nation. Apnin, I never will permit an attempt at tho ro construction of a Byzantine Empire or such an extension of Gr ecu as would render her u powerlul State ; still oi will I permit tho breaking up of Turkey into jittlo Republics hs Iuiub for Kos suth and Mazzinis, ami other revolutionists of Europe; ruiher than submit to any of lb ceo arrangement. I would go to war, nnd as loiijj ai I have a man and a musket, would carry U on. Incur European intelligence will bo found a now illustration of the immeoso changes which, under the pressure uf circumstances, are going on iu the wholu svttt-ni of Ihe Turkish government. The ad mission of Ihe tesiimony of Christians into tho ordi nary courts injustice on Iho looting ol partcctcqunl ity with that oi M ihomedatm, is au innovation not lo ho measured simply by its own legal consequences Such a concession is iu foot n sacrifice of tho whole theory of tho Turkish government, nnd in opposition to lhj whole spirit of tho Koran. It must be borne in mind that tho jurisprudence or ihe Ottoman tim nirt is nltogoth'T ecclesinstical. Tho Korau is ihe hasU of i II law, and the Ulemas or religious teachers aro Ihe only authorized leuil expounders. The exclu- siveness mid intolerance of tho Koran have found their exact cm niter part in iho entire legal system of the Empire, and though Clirisiinn communities have always subsisted in the T urkish dominions, they hove been no better than heretics and dogs in the eye of the i uritisn law. i no priviiog"s winch nave been grant-ed lo the various Christian iacts wero merely privb leges placing (hern upon an euuality with ouch other, not witiitho Mahomedan population itself. It is true that the spirit id' thn Turkish administration has long been far moro lihurul than the letter of the laws, bin hero wo have tho lawn Iheinsdves directly changed, and non miHiulnieu put upon tho smio level with the roirowers oi itio prophet oven iu ihe highest sauciua rics of justice, Turkey has long been preparing itself for these departures from Iho injunctions uf the Koran. The free scope which ban bo en allowed to overy religious movement out of the pnlo of the national faith could not but tend to break down tho artificial barriers which protected that faith, and promote the progress of overy liberal sentiment. Tho intolerant fire-and sword-spirit of tho Koran is literally dying out of Turkey, and the milder influences of Christ! inity are taking their place. By what ngeucy or with what motive these change aro superinduced, it is not necessary lo inquire. It is suHicient that the fact adinitH of no denial. The unchristian intolerance of Russia is in strange contrast. The pirit of 11 nisi a has been growing morn and mora proscriptivo since the advent of tho present Emperor twenty eight year ago. Thn predecessor l tho present Uzar not only permitted but eucourag-ed tho free circulation of iho Siripture.s iu Ins domin Ions; now no Russian Bible isallowod to be printed in Russia or imported. This is interdicted under the lovcro nt ponalties. Even the same prohibition ex'ends to (ho Hebrew Hiblo, though there nro nt least two millions of Jews in tho Russiau dominions Tho tame intolerant spirit it displayed against Chi ittinn Misions even where they Confine iheir i-H'orls tu the heathen outside of the pale of the Greek Church.

THE NEBRASKA AT SPRINGFIELD, A few days sirce we attempted to " atlr u.i the pure mind" of our Stateiman neighbor, merely "by way of rememhrance'as tothesucoessof his mission to Springfield, and labor of love for Ihe diffusion of slavery over ff" territory. We enquired for tho letter sent by Chief Justice Coitwns. If the Stateiman does not relnh that letter send it to ui; wo will publish it cheerfully I Instead, however, of answering our enquiries, tho Statetman affects profound wonder, an I straight way proceeds to interrogate us! He says; What does the Journal mean by a letter from Judge Oorwin to the Sprinfig-dd Nebraska meeting ? There was no such letter road. If it means lhat a letter op-posing the Nebraska bill was sent nnd withheld, it is untrue. Judge Corwia expected, Op to the last moment, to be at Springfield, and ad dree a the meeting. Tu this equivoque the Springfield Republic reptiet, (hut: Why did you not tell the whole truth, Mr. Cox, and state, that up to the hit moment, it wan Judge Corwin's intention to como to your Springfield meeting, and make a speech against the Nebraska bill and, further that he was benet by some of your miserablecon-federatea, who begged kirn to itay away.

" The Evening Post publishes an article from Boston to Ihe HVeet that Mr. Everett is tho author of the cele brat ed loltor of Daniel Webster tu Chevalier Hulso mann." This is eoncluiive of the oft a'Srted fact, that " the fools aro not all dead, yet." Mr. Everett is an ao. complUhed scholar and statesman and to was Dak-iel Weuter. But their style of thought and expret sion were aa dissimilar from each other, as those of each were peculiar to himself. And moreover, neither was ever in the habit of figuring Iu borrowed plumage. When that Intter was written, Mr. Everett was en joying his literary leisure, in Massachusetts, and Mr. Webster was at Ihe post of duty for which nature, lubit and educ ation eminently qualified him, at Washington. The letter wns a rather impromptu production in response to one received from the Chevalier but was ono of those happy p-cductions of Mr. Welter's pen, that could be vor little Improved by the most critical revision. It is Daniel Webster all over and throughout. CiT An important principle waa lately decided by Judge Pack at the Vinton county Common Pleas. Da-vin Richmond entered into a wr tten contract with H. J. Randolph, by which ho bound himaelf lo pay RAsnoxru $200, provided tho county of Elk, (afterward Vinton.) should be crented by the Legialainre io the winter of 18 19-50. Tho county was created, aud since ilmt time, tho money not being paid, Mr. Rak-noLrtt hit atied for his money, Tho cote was elaborately nr .'lied by W. R G oi l) en and H. Wit.jon for theplaiiitifft, and by E. F. Di no it am, and John E. Han-ma for ihe defence The o iini in of Judge Pkcr is reported at length in tho Vinton county Democrat. He decides lhat all such contracts are clearly oppeaed lo public poliuy, and are therefore void. Courts will not enforce them. His reasoning is clear, cogent, and, to our mind, conclusive. The pay was bated upon too ccaa. If no county waa secured, there was to bo no pay, and this invited the ute of all sorts of means. We take it that this will hert-afterbelherulein Ohio, and persona who engage in this sort of service, will understand lhat they have no legal claim forcompensation.
